If their owning player wishes for them to remain a Prospect, roll to determine their Advancement as normal.

Warped Monstrosity: When a Chaos Spawn is added to the Gang Roster, roll a D6 for each characteristic in their profile and consult the table below to determine their value:

6 3+ 5 6 3 4 3 4+

Erratic Movement: The Movement characteristic for a Chaos Spawn is random; roll each time the Chaos Spawn is activated.

Blessed by the Lord of Skin and Sinew: When a Chaos Spawn is taken Out of Action, do not roll on the Lasting Injury table. They are always considered to be Out Cold.

Out of Control: During the Wrap-up step of the Post-battle Sequence, if a Chaos Spawn took part in the battle there is a chance they will escape. Their controller nominates up to three Fighters from the gang who did not go Out of Action during the battle; roll a D6 for each Fighter. If at least one Fighter rolls a 4+, the Chaos Spawn is restrained and remains with the gang, otherwise they escape into the depths of the underhive; the Chaos Spawn goes into Recovery while the gang retrieves it. Additionally, if any Fighter rolls a 1, the Chaos Spawn lashes out at them. Roll on the Lasting Injury table for them and apply the result immediately.

Equipment: A Chaos Spawn is armed with warped appendages. They may not purchase or be equipped with additional weapons or wargear.
